Title: An explorative study on the sufficiency of the Irish road regulations for powered mobility users
Authors: Selvaseelan, Jerry
Description: The aims of this study were to explore the sufficiency of the current Irish road regulations for powered mobility users when compared to those of UK, Sweden, South Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and gather user perspectives of powered mobility users of clients within the Dublin North Central area of the HSE and IWA (Irish Wheelchair Association) service users.This study used mixed methodology to gather user preferences and opinions from participants from the community and IWA service users and liaised with government transport officials of 5 other countries to compare their published road regulations for PM users with those of Ireland.
The study results confirm and validate the hypothesis that the current Irish regulations for powered mobility users are highly deficient when compared to some other countries and that clear regulations are urgently required and submitted 10 key initial recommendations to the Department of Transport in March 2013. Recommendations were made to introduce legislation in specific areas of classification, status of user, driving location, registration/ licensing/ insurance requirements, speed limits, legal implications for rash/ negligent driving and for the new legislation/ road regulations to be made available to the public as soon as possible.
Recommendation has also been made to the RSA Statistics department to immediately commence collection of separate collision data involving powered mobility vehicles in Ireland for future policy development in this field.Tue, 01 Jul 2014 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10147/3239512014-07-01T00:00:00ZCulture and diversity among occupational therapists in Ireland: when the therapist is the 'diverse' onehttp://hdl.handle.net/10147/221073
